Come and volunteer in a wonderful atmosphere and help dogs and other animals rescued from the illegal dog meat trade, car accidents and other abusive situations.

Project Street Dogs Thailand only works with permanent volunteers, but if you are interested in volunteering on a short-term basis, we can offer an amazing opportunity to experience a wonderful adventure as a volunteer through our association with Saved Souls Foundation in Khon Kaen, Thailand.

Khon Kaen is the capital city of the province of Khon Kaen which is in Khon Kaen district and has a population of 141,034 according to the last census in 2000. Khon Kaen is located 450 km (approx. 280 miles) from Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. Life is hard for most animals in Thailand, especially stray animals. The dog the meat trade for human consumption is still very much alive in Thailand, and the torture and abuse these animals go through before they are eaten is horrific! Often these animals are stolen off the streets from their owners and are still wearing their collars!

How to get there: Arrive at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport on an international flight. From Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport you can take a domestic flight to Kohn Kaen. Or take shuttle bus to Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok for a domestic flight to Khon Kaen. Domestic flights must be booked in advance.

It is possible to go by train if you prefer but it takes much longer than going by air. Once you’ve arrived in Khon Kaen a member of Saved Souls will come and pick you up for a fee of 700 Thai Bath (18 euro) (21 USD).

It is around 25 km (16 miles) from Khon Kaen airport to Saved Souls.
